This Orlando-based simulation company is exhibiting at I/ITSEC, showcasing a range of training technologies that are well suited for military, first responder, and industry use cases.
For decades, traditional flight training has consisted of an instructor centric environment where the instructor is an all-knowing source of wisdom, and students are passive consumers of data. CAE is leading the way to change this paradigm by embracing modern learning methodologies and innovation to reorient pilot training towards adaptive, student centric learning.
This is the first in a series of short articles on developments in flight simulation training devices for military, human-in-the-cockpit, rotary- and fixed wing aircraft. These articles will include “deep dives,” highlighting innovations in the devices themselves and in their underpinning technology foundations. Additionally, the series will identify the collaborative industry teams and acquisition program dynamics enabling the delivery of new FSTDs. The training devices in these articles will be randomly selected from military training enterprises around the globe.
This approach will enable this airline to conduct realistic training scenarios, encompassing a wide range of procedures, including both normal and emergency operations.
The partnership brings wearable haptic technology to the fingertips of this simulation and virtual reality company, delivering a lifelike tactile experience within virtual environments.
During UnrealFest 2023, Sonia Mina, ATC Simulation Software Engineering Programs Manager for Adacel’s Simulation Business, updated delegates on her company’s efforts to advance ATC training, in partnership with Epic Games and Varjo. Marty Kauchak, MS&T editor attended Mina’s presentation Unlocking the Potential of Immersive Air Traffic Control Training and filed this extract of the conference presentation.
The progressive course, which examines the systems used in air transport aircraft and focuses intently on the Boeing 737, prepares students on the principles and operations they will soon encounter as professional pilots in airlines, cargo operations, and business aviation.
Flint Systems will provide two training stations: stationary/fixed for learning theory and mobile for learning practice, i.e. moving the vehicle on the apron, which will be delivered to the customer this November.
The use of VRpilot’s virtual reality technology will allow Icelandair’s maintenance teams to explore aircraft systems, components, and procedures in a highly interactive and safe virtual environment.
